Hi there - Thank you for the great review! I'm delighted that you had a great stay with us and enjoyed all of the renovations we recently did. I completely agree that a fire pit would be a nice addition; maybe we could add that sometime in the future! We hope that you'll come visit us again.

We've been to the Rockport area in the past but never quite this late in the season. We (almost literally) had the place to ourselves. That made it extra nice but even when they're busy I can't see it dropping off much.
It's an historic register place and there are no elevators. That was not a deal breaker for us...

Hi Clare - Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed one of our recently renovated rooms and that you also had a great time at dinner at Pigeon Cove Tavern. The photo you took is lovely as well, thank you for sharing! Please do come back to visit.

The people that work there are so nice!!! I think the dining room manager (woman) and a young lady helped me carry my bag up the stairs! I felt so bad! Everything looks remodeled since the last time I was there 20+years ago. Wonderful ocean front hotel, plenty of parking. Wonderful breakfast. Would definitely come back again.

This grand old hotel is in a magnificent location on the ocean with spectacular views and well appointed and comfortable refurbished rooms.
The ocean views are spectacular; pay the extra for this eyeful of magnificence.
The king room we had was spacious and well-appointed and we enjoyed the retention of the "old" doors, furniture, etc. that harken back to an...

Held a business meeting at the Emerson Inn. Melissa Hobbs was terrific to work with and the venue was lovely. The food and service were great and the slower pace of the area really balanced out long days of meetings.

Hi Debbie - thank you for the great review! We're delighted that you enjoyed our Cape Ann Sightseeing Package with Mark, who sends his regards and thanks you for a lovely time. I'm also glad to hear that you will be back, we hope to see you soon!

At the farthest point on the peninsula, the Emerson Inn holds sway looking eastward towards Spain across the Atlantic. Too much imagination? Not really. The setting and the building are evocative of a proud if not romantic past. The common areas of the Inn are welcoming and large; the wall art hints at a budget that is not quite in...

As we just arrived from India via Switzerland we did not want to drive to far after the landing at Boston Logan Airport. It took us just an hour to go there by a rented car. It was in good distance to start our holidays. We got first a room to the street side, but the sink was clogged. Without...
